This field functions either as a fill-in field or a pull-down menu, depending on what selection option you have chosen. For example, if you choose Printer Name, type a printer name in the field. If you choose File Server, the field becomes a pull-down menu displaying the file servers your workstation is attached to. Select a file server from the pull-down menu.

When typing the printer name or printer model, you may end any entry with a “wild card.” Wild cards are an asterisk (*) to specify any group of characters and a question mark (?) to specify any single character.

■To sort the printers in the list. In the Sort by area, click the button for the sort option you want to use. The sort option determines the order in which the printers are displayed on the list in the Main window.

3.If you want your chosen selection or sort option to apply each time you run the PhaserShare Administrator, check the Use setting at startup checkbox. If you leave the box unchecked, the next time the Administrator is started, the settings are All Tektronix Printers and Print Server Name. When the Administrator is first installed, the setting for Select by is Printer Name*.

4.To rearrange the list, click OK. To return to the Main window without rearranging the list, click Cancel.

When you select a Sort by option, the Select by option changes to All Tektronix Printers. When you choose a Select by option, the Sort by option changes to Print Server Name.

Information Not Available in the Printer List

When using the Sort by options, some selections in the Search Options dialog box display the message Information Not Available in the printer list in the Main window. This indicates that the printer is not equipped with a PhaserShare card or is not using the PhaserShare Series B interface. The PhaserShare Administrator cannot configure these printers; use the Advanced Configuration Tool supplied with your printer’s network utilities software.

840, 780, 360 specifications

Xerox has long been a pioneer in the field of printing and copying technology, and its 360, 780, and 840 models exemplify the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in the late 20th century. These machines are significant not just for their capabilities but also for how they transformed workplaces into efficient hubs for document management.

The Xerox 360, introduced in the 1970s, was notable for its innovative use of electrostatic transfer technology. This method allowed for the rapid and high-quality reproduction of documents, setting a new standard for both speed and clarity. With a printing speed of up to 120 copies per minute, the 360 was designed for high-volume environments, making it ideal for businesses that required efficient document distribution. Its ability to handle different media types, including transparencies, further expanded its utility.

Moving on to the Xerox 780, released shortly after the 360, this model built upon its predecessor's success by introducing additional features that catered to the evolving needs of users. One of the key advancements in the 780 was its ability to incorporate advanced finishing options, such as stapling and hole-punching, directly from the machine. This integration streamlined document production processes, reducing the need for manual tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The Xerox 780’s intelligent control panel also provided users with easy navigation and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

The Xerox 840 took another leap forward, focusing on integrating digital technology into the printing process. Introduced in the early 1980s, this model featured enhanced digital image processing capabilities, resulting in superior image quality and consistency. The 840 also supported duplex printing, allowing for automatic double-sided copies, which not only saved paper but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability practices as environmental concerns began to rise. The combination of these features made the 840 particularly well-suited for corporate environments where document quality and efficiency were paramount.

Overall, the Xerox 360, 780, and 840 series were landmark achievements in photocopying technology. Their advanced features, such as high-speed output, diverse media handling, and enhanced finishing options, established Xerox as a leader in the industry. These machines not only improved productivity but also set a precedent for future innovations, influencing the trajectory of printing technology for years to come. As businesses continue to evolve, the foundational technologies pioneered by these models remain integral to modern document management solutions.
